Backend Server setup for HTTPS monitor

Hi,

Here is what you can do.

Lets say that your server IP is 1.1.1.1 and the https port is 443.

1. Try a ping to ensure that you have L3 connectivity:

ping 1.1.1.1

2.Check if the port is open:

telnet 1.1.1.1 443

3.Check the send string syntax:

Commonly should look like : GET /path/monitor.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n

4.Try a curl using your monitor send string and compare the server response with your recv string.

Example: curl –kv https://1.1.1.1/path/monitor.txt –H “Host: example.com”
